The thing I would try would be to set parindent to a negative value
like "-MMMMM". However, from reading the sources, it appears that only
left/right margin and label indent can use those negative values.
It would not be difficult to change the source to support negative
indents, but I am not sure there are not places where it is assumed
that parindent is positive. It happens that this part of the source is
really horrible and was tailored only to be able to represent the
basic latex classes. Some improvements have been made since then,
but...
If you are not too afraid to change a bit the sources, take a look at
all the places where the function stringWidth() is called on parindent
or layout.parindent and change it with signedStringWidth(), which
honors the leading '-'. Then try it out. If it does something
reasonable, I'll be glad to accept this change [I do not have much
time to try it out myself].
